    Dont worry about my driving skills ; never had a single accident in the past 2 years of driving (Polo , Activa ) .
    Taking care of the bike ?? As I said I cannot afford maintenance , its not me , eventually I'll sell this maybe after 6 months and buy a duke . So no problem when it comes to maintaining the machine .

        Not an accident in these years doesnt guarantee that it cant happen.
        If you cant afford maintenance, you cant afford a bike then. And what makes you think that duke wont reply maintenance. Btw in this 6months too, you have to give the bike for regular servicing.
        And I might sound like your mother but here we dont support rash riding and want better bikera here, rather than commuters who just cant love their rides. At the same time we want people on the road to be safe too, sorry to be rude, but you are posing a threat for them.

          Voila!! Had the same itch oh my right wrist when 19!! was given a modest crux.God and I know how a maniac i used to be.
          No Maintenance -- Not so good,I learned the hard way, you will eventually do so.Love your machine she'l love you back.
          Now to you question, I would ve suggested RTR to fuel the ever hungry right - wrist, but go for FZ, more dynamics,handling and bigger rubber on the rear, holds the road like a leech. Make sure to buy riding gears, at the least Helmet.
          And, regarding the no accident part, you would never want one, remember crazy riding + no maintenance calls for one.

          All the best for you new ride.

              I understand your view's and really respect it . But the thing is I can take control over myself and my skills . I have learnt that there are two kinds of people who drive on the road , one that uncle type who drives at 40 km/hr and usually is the main contender of accident while the others who fly and still manage to dodge death / accident .

                Yup even I liked the fz 2.0, so I booked it today (blue) but the guy told me that I'll have to wait 2 months :banghead: and there is no guarantee that I will receive a call even after that allocated period of time .

                  That was TVS flame, it had a separate place to keep goggles. Was standard but not much of use.

                  You seriously need some road etiquette my dear friend.
                  1) What makes you think that only Uncle type ride at 40kmph and what age group does your so called Uncle type falls?
                  2) What makes you think that Uncle type cant ride beyond 40kmph, ever heard of John Mcguiness ?
                  3) What makes you think that you came with a destiny that you can dodge death / accident everytime?

                  Buddy, change your mindset before its too late. I know I am blunt but have seen kids like you lying dead with their brains popped out of their skull while they were "dodging death" ?

                    Re: Apache 160 or yamaha fz s 2.0

                    Hi guys,

                    Please help me also!

                    I am looking for my second bike. Current one is 5 year old FZ.

                    Age 29
                    Height 5'6"
                    Weight 62

                    Like the handling of my FZ, especially after putting a Dunlop on the rear. No other bike feels so much under control.

                    Poor mileage, 35. Purely city riding in Pune.

                    Why new bike, and what I need from it:

                    Bit more power. Not keen to go 100+.

                    Weight n handling should be like fz.

                    Mileage at least 40.

                    What I can compromise:

                    Looks
                    Top speed
                    Price

                    Anything available?

                        Is the mileage better than FZ?
                        Also, Bajaj name doesn't inspire much confidence! How has NS200 been? Will test ride soon.

                          The more the cc, more compromise on mileage.
                          You can again settle for FZ version 2, but I personally wont recommend that as it would be sticking to same thing again and again.

                            Yes, the equation is true in general terms, but there are differences due to brand too. Yamaha is known for poor mileage. Pulsar NS was claimed to give 50+ in actual riding, at launch.

                            Yeah, not going for FZ 2. In that case my current bike is not bad. Has clocked around 30k. the effort of selling, RTO work, buying new, paying the difference, doing the run in period will be more taxing than the joy of new machine.

                              P200NS is what you want. Yes, our Indian companies do lack when it comes to quality of parts. But its not a big deal, as they are damn cheaper to maintain. It totally depends on how you take care of it. Second option for you is, Karizma(Though its not a naked, but serves your purpose).
